I would love to give it a 5 star review, but we didn't see enough because it got cancelled. Yes the preacher is the best character, but I would have loved for us to have seen more, there was definitely lots of room for the characters to grow. I have seen Rel in lots of different things and he is a great actor and comic, and I think one of the funniest things I have ever seen is in episode 10 where he plays a hood rapper Doolock with the song 'Sprinkle Dinkle' about ghetto ice-cream, it sticks in your head, very funny.
